>What is /awake/? This is a general thread for people like me right now who want to stay awake tonight. The idea behind this is that we chat and post music/pics and all that stuff to keep us all motivated to carry on with this goal.
>Are there any rules? No, do what you want.
Go crazy, relax or something. I try to stay in this thread all night long (it's ca. 01:30 where I live) and chat with you guys if you want.
3:35 AM I don't even want to stay awake but I'm already so far I have to commit
Brayden Gray
It's 8:35 PM and I already want to go to bed. Bueno cocoa

Doesn't have to be a bad thing. There are even some interesting pop bands which also branch into different genres of music like The Cure. One of my favourite pop bands is Dead Or Alive. Here are some links:
Hey guys, how do you deal with being pieces of shit that ruin everything good i your lives. My one and a half year relationship came to an end today because I can't manage my anger, or emotions altogether. Loved her with all my heart, and she loved me, I never cheated on her, treated her right most of the time, but I had big anger lashouts in which I insulted and even degraded her. She wasn't always nice or respectful, but she was definitely better than me.
They sound pretty cool, I'll check them out! Which artist do you mainly listen to, otherwise?
Kayden Reed
Nice, I like people who take responsibility. That's the spirit!^^ Than sleep tight, sweet prince. It's not too late for you.
Tyler Brooks
Try to remove yourself from the situation when you notice that you're getting angry. Literally leave the room or go take a walk whenever you feel like that. I'm sorry you lost her, man.
Nolan Gutierrez
Does it count if I do this in hopes of getting a stroke and dying?
Juan Ramirez
Nice^^ Hard to tell, I like a lot of artists. But I have to say that I mainly listen to bands associated with the New/Dark Wave, Post-Punk and Gothic Rock movement from the 80s and 90s. Like the before mentioned The Cure (they used to make melancholy gothic rock [80-82]), Dead Or Alive (used to be dark too), Bauhaus, Sisters Of Mercy, Anne Clark AND London After Midnight.
Also a lot of psychedllic rock like The Velvet Underground, The Doors, certain albums of The Beach Boys.
Atmospheric/Post-Black Metal is also a thing for me. For example Drowning The Light, Feigur and Ghost Bath.
Or early Techno and EBM: Sven Veath/16-Bit, Moby and so on...
I can give you some links if you want to :)
Nolan Hall
Do as you please bro. But I rather not have you dead.
John Rivera
>I rather not have you dead So you want me to suffer instead, very nice of you
Carson Ortiz
Dude, I know how you feel. One year ago I was a freaking drug using tranny running around drunken with a black party dress at 7 in the morning in my village while planning my suicide. I had a lot of time for thinking in the mental hospital and I came to the conclusion that it's not worth it to commit suicide. Come on bro, tell us what burdens lie on your shoulders. Maybe we can help you.
Leo Harris
It's not dark outside in my timezone yet but I'll lurk until it is.
Sure! I'm always open to trying new music and discovering other genres.
Bentley Jones
Thanks man, they are my favorite band^^ I have like 30 physical records of The Cure at home xD All 13 Studio CDs, some live albums, a few bootlegs and compilations, like 3 maxi-singles on CD and 1 maxi-single on vinyl. Oh and the 4 CD BOX-Set with b-sides and rarities.
Incredible! I never thought my thread would survive 45 min., let alone 3 hours! It's 04:45 now where I live. I will stay here for the next 2 hours but than I have to prepare myself to get ready for the day. Thanks to all the anons who have been with me this night so far!
Jeremiah Anderson
I really like the video, fits perfectly with the lyrics. I've never actually seen a video that takes the lyrics literally (except maybe Riptide from Vance Joy), so it was a nice surprise!
Ryder Clark
Ahhh finally a general right for me. t. night auditor
Anthony Foster
I'm not him but this was always my to to. >tfw she thought I did it to spite her and started doing it back to get a reaction out of me I only cried half the time. I loved her so much but she treated me like human garbage.
Wyatt Stewart
Well sotrming out of a room is ppretty odd, I definitely think he (or anyone who does this to avoid losing control of anger) should sit down with loved ones at first and explain to them the situation, and how you need to remove yourself from the situation to stay calm.
I'm sorry she treated you that way, man. You deserve better, and whoever is lucky enough to have you will be grateful for you.
Zachary Reed
Coming up to 4am lads. Work in 2 hours. Can finally sleep in 7.
I estimate that I have at least another four (4) hours of wakefulness remaining what should I do unsleepy bros?
Ayden Myers
36 hours is peak comfy with some light euphoria and mania but past that point my thoughts become too disorganized I used to be able to go a lot longer
Jayden Wilson
Legitimately don't know why you people need motivation to stay up. I've been going to bed around 6:30 every day for the past week or so. I guess it helps if you have depression and can just endlessly scroll this dumpster fire of a board.
>but I had big anger lashouts in which I insulted and even degraded her Fuck you, man. Broke up with my girlfriend recently for the same shit. No one deserves that. No one.
For a while I was going to bed at 8 AM and waking up at 7 PM. I get it user, its rough. You end up feeling even shittier over time. It's a cycle.
The only way I've fixed it before is trying to reset my schedule by forcing myself to sleep early and trying not to look at my phone as much. But it's tough.
Ryder Thompson
What's the longest time you've stayed awake and why? Tell us your story, user. I need some good reading material before I eventually sleep.
I don't even know if I really need to fix at, at least for now. I usually go into work at 3 so there's nothing exactly pushing me to go to bed any earlier. Not really much to do when awake, either.
Carson Morgan
Yeah I understand. I usually spend way too many hours looking at my phone and watching youtube or playing vidya
Michael Torres
I appreciate that, user. Thanks for not giving me shit for it.

WHEN NIGHT FALLS SHE CLOAKS THE WORLD IN IMPENETRABLE DARKNESS

Jackson Cox
No longer night time lads. 5:30am. Time I made a move, this was a nice cozy slow moving thread. Hope these are a recurring thread. Cheers for the music.
I like the part when you've stayed up long enough that you feel calm and the depression and suicidal thoughts goes away briefly
Liam Fisher
Wow hard to tell somewhere between 48-72 hours (I guess 3 days in total were my record) I suppose. I can tell a little story about that if you want.
>be me, 18 y o goth kid (a true one desu, looked traditional and listened to 80s darkwave stuff) >hate of course everything >only see my friends on vacations, we live apart >we hang around a lot in the backyard of one of my friends >most of them are alternative/punks/metalheads >they do drugs most of the time while I usually just get myself some alcohol >notthistime.mp3 >been suicidal since months and actually wanted to take my life >fuck this, try MDMA for the first time >PURE FUCKING LOVE >it's like cupid's arrow penetrates my veins >we all cuddle and feel so warm and comfy >we stayed up all night long >in the process I somehow managed to twist my ancle but the pain felt so good.
I wish I could pull an all nighter but I have a retarded mandatory 5 hour course later today so I can get my drivers license. Even though I'll probably fuck the road test up horrendously.
Jack Flores
When you've stayed up long enough it feels like you're pretty dissociated and out of it.
Not even mentioning the hallucinations
Owen Baker
I just get more depressed and suicidal the longer I stay up and sleeping seems to reset it.
Benjamin Gray
I am extremely bored right now i wanna sleep but i can't cause insomnia
sad boy stuff desu but i love doom a bit too much. My favorite sub-genre of metal although Sludge (even tho its a doom subgenre) and Melo death come close
Part2, forget to mention that I'm a german and OP of course... just in case: >next morning, sunday >go on flee market with friends >wasted as fuck, pure depression >friends fuck around, end up buying a shitty hat for 1 Euro >go through some merchandise >"No, this can't be!" >freaking "Temple Of Love" vinyl by The Sisters Of Mercy is for sale >purchase it cause I think it's an omen or something >me and my friends split up >go to my dad's home totally wasted >on the way home I'm so paranoid that my vinyl gets sun damage that I put it under my trenchoat and stuff >get home >wasted and depressed, what do? >listen to underground gothic rock >fits the mood perfectly, feel great for some reason >drive to my mom's home with a sense of accomplishment
Part3: >finally really home >spend the rest of the day listening to the vinyl i got and some old techno and EBM stuff >fall asleep at night >be depressed for like 2 more days
I'm not into drugs anymore, but they really opened my mind. I still would be a fucking conservative goth kid which just feels hate if I hadn't experienced other (forced) emotions through drugs.
There are far more interesting stories of my past, this one was pretty boring to be honest. I just mixed up the beginning of this story with another cool one. Sorry for that, but I had to bring the greentext story to an end.
Feels good. When I don't sleep I definately feel a lot better. I actually like to bring this thread back to life some other time since some guys are interested.
I want to stay awake but I'm already feeling like sleeping, should I pop a few caffeine pills or just sleep?
Jason King
Pop a few caffeine pills and walk around your room a bit till they kick in, laying down just makes you more tired
Jeremiah Young
OP here. Nope, still /awake/.. at least until the next sunset. I go off now but I come back later in a few hours (or more) if the thread's still kickin'.
Any tips on how not to be /awake/? I cannot sleep normally and function in 30-40 hour cycles. Attempting to set a sleeping pattern just makes me tired all the time from waking up *early* or too awake to sleep after only being up for 18-20 hours.
Carter Carter
I fell in love with Touhou 8 - Imperishable Night. Almost got a good ending years ago on normal mode but at the endgame I took a break because I got nudes send from a befriended femboy. It was so distracting that I failed the chance. I was never so close to not loose a single continue xD
Juan Cooper
I saved a bunch of RNH images. I know they were nothing but shitposting, but shitposting is a lot funnier at 3am.
try forcing yourself to go to sleep before you get your second wind. It's easier for me to sleep at 12 hours than at 18.
Got to remilia on hard yesterday with no continues, choked it on scarlet netherworld D:
James Lee
Decided to visit this board again after awhile, trying to fight my insomnia so this thread seems nice. It was my birthday a few days ago, pretty lonely as usual. Im listening to the Katamari Damacy soundtrack right now while I play xenoblade 2.
